Konrad Wisniewski Quartet Saxophonist Wisniewski has been off sharpening his technique and ideas at Berklee College. and is the latest in a long line of Scottish jazzers to follow Tommy Smith to the famous Boston jazz school. Check out what he's picked up (this replaces Colin Steele Plays Kind of Blue. which now moves to April). Henry’s Jazz Cellar. Edinburgh, Thu 5—Sat 7 Feb.

His regular audience is notably younger and more club-oriented than for most jazz, and it will be interesting to see how it goes down in the formal concert hall setting. Usher Hall. Edinburgh, Sat 7 Feb.
